Introduction
The course is to introduce the principles of various fundamental machine learning techniques and their applications. It covers areas ranging from unsupervised learning to supervised learning as well as the various applications of machine learning that may be encountered in industry. Some examples and codes will be given.
Successful completion of the course will enable students to understand the principles of the classical machine learning methods.
